By losing 38-35 in the second overtime to the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC divisional-round playoff game Saturday, John Fox and the Broncos' coaching staff will soon be heading to Honolulu for the Pro Bowl.

When in 2009 the Pro Bowl was moved to the week before the Super Bowl instead of the week after, the coaches from the highest-seeded teams to lose in the divisional playoff round now get rewarded with coaching their respective Pro Bowl teams.

The Broncos entered the postseason as the AFC's No. 1-seeded team. As they lost Saturday, Fox and his coaching staff will head the AFC Pro Bowl team against the NFC on Jan. 27 at Aloha Stadium.

Joining the Broncos' coaches will be at least five of their players. Quarterback Peyton Manning, linebacker Von Miller and cornerback Champ Bailey will start for the AFC team. Left tackle Ryan Clady and defensive end Elvis Dumervil are Pro Bowl reserves.

There's a decent chance wide receiver Demaryius Thomas will also get invited, because he was a No. 1 alternate.

Dumervill praises fans. Broncos players had heaters behind the team bench. They know the fans did not.

Broncos stunned. Players in the Broncos' locker room appeared as stunned as their fans after the double-OT loss.

"It's definitely a sick feeling," cornerback Chris Harris said. "When you work as hard as this team has worked, I mean, to (seemingly) have the game (won) then to blow it away, that definitely hurts."

Opportunity lost. For older Broncos players, including Bailey, a 14-year player, the loss had to sting even more.

"It's gets tougher the older you get, because you never know when that door is going to close (on your career)," Bailey said. "I just have to keep grinding. That's the way I'm built. It is a tough loss, but we will bounce back one way or another. That's all you can do."

Next man up. Broncos running back Ronnie Hillman got more carries when Knowshon Moreno went out with a knee injury, and the rookie from San Diego State made the most of them. Hillman finished with 83 yards on 22 carries, a rushing total topped only by Bobby Humphries (85 yards vs. Pittsburgh in 1990) among Broncos rookies in the postseason.

Practice makes perfect. It's not often seen, but Ravens coach John Harbaugh is a former special-teams coach who is always thinking about the kicking game.

And between the end of regulation and the first overtime period, Harbaugh had his rookie kicker, Justin Tucker, go out and take a practice kick. Tucker also did it in between overtime periods.

Some of the Broncos players, including Bailey, looked on, appearing rather surprised.

"That's pretty standard for us," Harbaugh said. "We always do that. You go out there and try to get a feel for the wind if you have a chance in between quarters and two-minute warnings."

"I don't think there's any new rule that disallows them," Fox said.

Tucker hit a 47-yarder in the second OT to win the game.

Flag day. The Broncos were charged with 10 penalties in the game, which tied for their second-highest total of the season.

Injuries. Cornerback Omar Bolden left the game with an injured left shoulder, and Moreno departed with a knee injury. Neither player returned.

Lewis to play again. Veteran Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis got a reprieve from retirement when Baltimore rallied for the victory.

"To extend my career now, to know whenever the road stops, to know it won't be the end but it's just a new beginning ..." Lewis said of getting at least another game. Mike Klis, Tom Kensler, Jeff Legwold and Irv Moss, The Denver Post
